Morocco, a country that has been
staunchly independent throughout history yet remained open minded
and ready to accept change. Hence, explaining its multicultural
mixture of heritage, religions and languages.
Located in north-west Africa, with Mediterranean and Atlantic
coastlines, Morocco has a stunning view of the sea. Simply looking
to the horizon lets you know exactly where you are: notice the
rugged fortifications, sparkling coastline, silken sand and canyons
carved out of the High Atlas Mountains. If a view could be perfect…
then this would be it.
As a result of being influenced by the Romans, Arabs and
Europeans, various
historical monuments can be found all over the country. All through
time, travelers have braved the heat and hiked the mountains in
search of majestic Morocco. What they find, and what you will find,
should you choose to vist, is royal palaces, extraordinary oasis
and masses of hospitality. But not only does Morocco dazzle you
with its architecture and history, it has many other popular sites:
medinas (old towns), the Tuareg trading post and ancient mellahs
(Jewish quarters).
It's
surprising how easily Morocco warps all sense of time and place as
you enjoy admiring and appreciating the minute details of your
visit: sliding into a comfortable caftan on the beach;
relaxing in a hammam (steam bath) at the end of a long,
rewarding week; or tucking into your traditional tagine
(stew). Sometimes, it's the little things that make the entire
journey worthwhile.
Whether you've come to the
country to relax, explore or experience the country and sites, the
locals will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and exceed
your expectations! No matter where you go, you will always hear:
Ahlanwasahlan, you are welcome in
Morocco!
